The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by Jim Sutton Disney’s movie, Narnia, opened here in Montana this last weekend. My wife and I went to see it Friday. I was pleasantly surprised to see they stuck to the heart of Lewis’ story. The acting was good, as were the special effects. I was not […]

Narnia – allegory?
One poster: Not any Lewis scholars worth listening to. Lewis himself said in so many words it’s NOT an allegory. Another: I’d very much like to see a cite for this .. Not saying I disbelieve you, just asking for chapter and verse, as it were .. A third: OK, here it is. C.S. Lewis […]

Narnia: allegory?
I wrote: Interesting… Doug Gresham, CSLewis’ stepson, and an evangelical Christian (and a personal friend) says the Narnia stories were *not* meant by ‘Jack’ (as Doug calls his step-father) to be allegorical/evangelistic.
